Safari V4.1 - v/slow to load home page. Any clues/cures?

Any clues/cures as to why just lately, my home page won't load immediately. I can hear the processor ticking over, then after a many, many minutes of inertia, the system suddenly comes alive. I haven't attempted to reset Safari for fear of losing essential data.

Recently, all pages VERY slow to load (home page 1 min+ !!)

Recently - certainly since last FF update - all web pages are painfully slow to load. Even my Google homepage can take well over a minute. Kaspersky full system scan says no viruses, trojans or malware detected. Even after page loads, it can take up to another half minute before I can interact with the page (e.g. use the scroll bar). It's driving me mad! Any suggestions highly appreciated. Many thanks.

I have been having this problem for a couple of weeks now. Slow start up page! It takes a good 45 seconds to load, and then is blank and white for another 12-30 seconds. I do not have Kaspersky. I am running Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx. I have ran scans, and they say I am bug free.
I have been to many forums and firefox "Help" pages, and nothing (I can understand anyway) has helped! This is crazy! Can someone help?

Safari 8.0.4 Slow to load web pages on OS X 10.10.2

Behavior started recently with the latest Safari update and makes Safari unusable. Google Chrome works great. I've tried all the suggestions from similar posts. Seems sad that the only workable solution is to use a different browser.
Is Apple actively working on this problem?

1. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
2. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Test.

Safari 5.1.10 slow/not loading on iMac os x 10.6.8

Hello,
Recently my Safari is VERY slow, it is not loading some web pages properly, and not uploading or displaying some pictures.
I havent done anything diferent or uploadae any updates.
I have tried everything to resolve the issue-
-empty cache,
-check for up-dates,
-reinstall safari (twice!)
-Check broadband (I have a new macbook pro, and Safari works fine on this as it is a more recent version)
-remove all extensions
- even checked my HD!
Please help if you have any suggestions,...this is driving me mad, as I can't even access email on gmail!
Thanks in advance!

How do you turn IPv6 off in Safari 5.1.10?
I don't see anyway to do this.
Lately, Safari is not only loading slowly upon initial opening, but it's also slow to load new pages, and it's regularly loosing contact with webpages in previous tabs I opened. I'll go back to a tab, after moving to a new one, only to find it blank, and then I have to reload it, which takes f o r e v e r !
Then I find my entire system get stuck and I can't do anything. Sometimes I can force quit an application and other times not. Many times lately, I find my computer is just frozen and all I can do is reboot it manually to get it working again.

Safari is slow 2 load web pages on my Macbook

Safari is slow 2 load web pages on my Macbook.

First I would do a speed test to make sure your Internet is working appropriately. If speed is slow you can restart your router/ modem.
Also, try this :

Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?

Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?

In fact, I am runing some plug-ins: ClickToPlugin (Flash blocker), Collusion and Disconnect.
There is quite a history of new versions of Safari breaking third-party plug-ins/extensions becasue the plug developer did not have an updated version available by the time the new Safari version dropped. What you report--worked fne before but won't now--is exactly what history says happens in such a case.
First, turn off all third-party stuff and see if Safari smooths out. Alternatively, create a new user account and, from there, test Safari in its native state with nothing added. That is a good diagnostic to see if the issue is a plug or extension.
If either of those helps, check for updates to the add-ons. If the developer is slow in reacting to the updated Safari version, (not unheard of), stop using that extension until an update is available.

My macbook air is so slow at loading web pages

Why is my Macbook Air suddenly so slow at loading web pages?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photo Stream, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Firefox is taking more than 10 mins or never loads home page on mac Mac OS X 10.6.3 (10D573). Pls advise thanks

Firefox never loads home page... on Mac OS X 10.6.3 (10D573)
or The connection has timed out
I have no problem with Safari or IE. They are damn fast-instant! Thanks!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Few months back ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

I encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy...

Why is iPad so INCREDIBLY slow in loading web pages or e-mails? I have brand new iPad 2.

Just got a new iPad2 last week, installed OK, updated to iOS 5.0, able to access my home's wireless network. However, it is incredibly slow in loading web pages, so that most web sites time out before they will load, like http://finance/yahoo, which I have to use my desktop (Windows XP) or laptop (Windows 7) computers to access, since the iPad will time out almost every time before it can open the site. Same for most other sites, unless real simple like my own web site, which will open OK.
Apple tech support was no help at all. Any suggestions, other than buying a new router?

Have you tried (1) restarting your router, and (2) resetting the wifi on the iPad? To do #2, go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings.

Firefox no longer loads home page or deletes cookies. I have repeatedly checked both settings and they are correct. It always goes to the last page I was on when I closed the browser ..

Unauthorized message while loading home page

Hi, I am a beginner in Oracle.
I had installed Oracle 10g express edition a month ago. I've been working with database and tables successfully and developing some applications using appex 2.1.
One of the last operations i did was to run successfully this pl/sql instructions in sql command in graphical user interface:
declare
pw_v varchar2(100);
begin
pw_v := dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.md5( input_string => 'admin' );
INSERT INTO M_USERS(LAST_NAME,USERNAME,PASSWORD,ADMINISTRATOR,IN_USE)
values('admin','admin', pw_v ,'Y','Y');
end;
After that i've tried to view the table M_USERS when suddenly it prompts username and password in "Connect to 127.0.0.1" window (This window never prompted before). I tried my operating system and database passwords but it still gives "Unauthorized" message.
I shut down Database server, restarted my Operating system and when i load the home page it still prompts username and password in "Connect to 127.0.0.1" window.
I've read something like that in Re: Unauthorised message while loading home page and solution was to change the port number.
I've changed port number typing this command in sql plus line: "exec dbms_xdb.sethttpport(8090)" but the problem still remains.
I think to reinstall Oracle 10g express as last chance but i dont think it would be a professional solution.
Please help me with this it's urgent.
Thanks.....!!
Roger

Hi Ginny, i am new in Oracle Express....I have the same problem you had. I've changed port number and the problem still remains... i need the solution urgently...please help....

Safari and other browsers slow to load and wont load https (secure)

Since the last update of Safari 5, we have noticed that we can't load https pages. So we went to Firefox, that seemed to help for awhile. Now we can't always load https in either. We are also seeing that http pages wont load quickly in either browerser. We have researched all posts within the last month about Safari 5 and hang ups, crashes and slow loading....we have tried everything suggested. Since sites don't load quickly, this has taken a lot of time. Any suggestions would be wonderful. We have contacted our DSL provider 6 times in the last 30 days and they can't find anything wrong with their service or with the modem. We are at a loss. Currently we are trying to download the MocOSXUpdCombo 10.6.4 but we keep timing out. Don't even know if this post will post. Oh yeah, Mail is having problems as well. We ran disk first aid and did the permissions as well. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

Hi again:
I am a long way from an expert on anything - SSL or communications. The fact that both browsers are affected seems to take it out of a Safari-only thing. Also, since everything works on your other computer seems to let your ISP off the hook. I don't think it is your computer, per se.
I did get some random thoughts. Things you might look at/try:
1. Reset Safari (empty the cache, for sure)
2. Take a look at the firewall settings on the computer that is giving you problems.
3. You might try Open DNS (free one) to see if the domain name server process is, somehow, an issue:
http://www.opendns.com/start/
4. You might also download the OS X 10.6.4 combo updater and reapply it. That is probably an overkill and it will take awhile, but it is possible something went wrong with the update.
You can see I am fishing, but nothing seems to be consistent in the behavior.
Barry
P.S. The tundra may be frozen, but you live in a beautiful state.

Safari too slow to load a page, need help

Hi mi name is roberto carlos and i really need help please. Since a time ago my SAFARI has become too slow that i can see the difference. I don't know what to do with it. Please somebody help me, how do i fix it.
Thanks.
Message was edited by: robertinho

Hi Roberto and welcome to the forums!
Try this:
The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Many, including me, have had success with adding DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
Less likely, but possible, is that the slowness is caused by a Trojan such as the one called 'DNSChanger' or 'OSZ.RSPlug', which can alter the DNS settings of your network connection. This particular Trojan can be inadvertently installed if you have come across certain Quicktime movies where got a window stating that you have to download and install a particular codec in order to see the video.
If you have agreed to that installation, your system can be infected and your DNS settings altered, which results in your system using the wrong DNS servers, which can slow web surfing to a crawl.
This can be fixed by downloading and running a freeware utility called DNSChanger Removal Tool which you can download from here:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33696
Once you have run that utility you have to re-boot your Mac, then reset Safari, and re-enter your DNS settings in System Preferences/Network.
